Chris de Burgh
Most people know him for the famous hit ‘Lady in Red’ but I must say I have discovered the real Chris de Burgh in some of his other, less familiar songs. What I liked more than anything else - and it was a kind of revelation to me - …
The Beatles - Abbey Road (1969)
‘Abbey Road’ was the final great Beatles album, and was actually an album quite light in tone, and one which gave little indication of the forthcoming break-up of the world’s greatest-ever rock and pop group - especially with an opening rocker entitled ‘Come Together’. John Lennon, well into the …
Scars On Broadway - Insane (Song)
Insane is a track by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record which came out a few years ago. Unlike the previous two tracks, Exploding/Reloading and Stoner-Hate, Insane is much more similar to Funny because it’s very moderately paced and it features Malakian singing in a …
Within Temptation & Metropole Orchestra - Black Symphony
Make way for the new symphonic metal that will replaced Nightwish (after Tarja’s leaving the band to pursue a solo career it’s not a cool band anymore..). This dvd contains power-packed performance by the band. If you had seen The Silent Force Tour dvd you’ll be more mesmerised to …
Rent rock opera
In my personal opinion, this is the most socially relevant usage of the stage musical in the history of the genre. It is a powerful love letter to Generation X that does not sugar coat the hardships faced by the LGBT community in the nineties, as well as …

Green Day - 80 (Song)

On the fifth album, Counting Crows deliberately to display two different themes. On side A, we are treated to color hard rock music, while the B side, bringing us to the nuances of folk. This album in a short time was ranked 3rd U.S. Billboard 200. Long enough for …
The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (Song)
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is the second track which appears on Rubber Soul and certainly another one of Lennon’s earlier songs which I would consider to be among his best. I always used to believe, and still believe, that Rubber Soul was certainly the record where The …

The Beatles - Come Together (Song)

The Knife - I Just Had To Die (Song)

When 2 R In Love (by Prince)
This is perhaps one of the most underrated songs that Prince has ever written. On his LoveSexy album, this song is the epitome of intimacy. The lyrics have this way of getting under your skin. Perhaps it’s the quiet inensity of Prince’s voice. Perhaps it’s …
All That I Can Say (song, Mary J. Blige)
The 1999 release of Mary J. Blige’s album featured a wonderful opening song called “All That I Can Say.” I really love this little ditty. It’s a wonderful piece of instrumentation. And Mary really gets behind the music with her voice. The tempo is …
“Insomniatic” Album by Aly & AJ

Slick Dogs and Ponies, 2008 Album by Louis XIV
When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …

Doll Domination by Pussycat Dolls

Ain’t it Just Like You by Toby Keith
